EoR No. 16: Tax Day is coming!
Plus a new class, becoming a war tax resister, financial geography, embracing ease and more
Top of mind
Tuesday is Tax Day! In case you’ve been busy, overwhelmed or despondent, here’s your reminder that tax returns are due by April 15. If you can’t get yours filed by then, you can apply for an extension and get until Oct. 15. And remember, most people can file online for free — so check IRS Free File for options before you pay to file through tax prep software.
